The present invention is based on the object of providing a housing for a control or valve device, in particular a heating valve, for an asymmetrically inflatable or impinged radiator with at least two heating elements, which is suitable for a wide variety of variants of control or valve devices.

The object is achieved by a control or valve housing according to the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the housing comprises an outer housing part and an inner housing part, wherein the inner housing part is arranged completely or at least for the most part within the outer housing part and has three openings wherein the adjusting or valve device can be arranged in one of the three openings, and wherein the inner housing part and the outer housing part form at least two mutually sealed or sealable flow channels for separately conducting heating medium into the first and second heating elements. The object is achieved for an asymmetrically flowing or vorströmbaren radiator according to the preamble of claim 18, characterized in that the adjusting or valve means comprises two lateral openings or at least a double piston or at least a double plunger for flow communication with two flow channels of the housing for controlling the supply of heating medium to the first heating element and for controlling the supply of heating medium to the at least one further heating element so that substantially no heating medium flows into the at least one further heating element during partial load operation and substantially no heating medium flows from the first heating element into the at least one further heating element. Further developments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

This creates a housing for a setting or valve device, in particular a heating valve, for an asymmetrically approachable radiator with at least two heating elements, in which by providing an inner housing part and an outer housing part in a simple manner against each other sealed or sealable flow channels to separate Zuleiten of heating medium in the first and second heating element can be created. To form the two separate flow channels, the inner housing part can be sealed against the outer housing part or, in particular by providing at least one seal or a sealing element, in particular a silicone gasket. It is also possible to seal the inner housing part by a different means relative to the outer housing part, such as by joining the two housing parts so that an opening of the outer housing part with respect to the other openings of this sealed and fluidly connected to one of the openings of the inner housing part. In particular, the two housing parts can be connected to one another by welding or soldering in the region of these two openings.

The first flow channel may be provided inside the inner housing part. The second flow channel is advantageously formed between the two housing parts as Umströmungsraum of the inner housing part.

The outer housing part may have a spherically shaped central portion and the inner housing part may be cylindrical and / or at least spherically shaped in the central portion. In each case, the inner housing part is dimensioned so that it sits at a distance from the outer housing part, at least for the most part, within it, thus leaving a circulation space between the inner and outer housing parts.

Advantageously, the inner housing part has only three openings, so that accordingly in providing an outer housing part with at least four openings, in particular five openings, by sealing the one opening of the inner housing part relative to the outer housing part and connecting in each case an opening of the inner housing part with an opening the outer housing part remains free only a further opening of the inner housing part, in which the adjusting or valve device can engage or a double piston or double tappet of the actuating or valve means to open this opening optionally and to close. The inner housing part and the outer housing part can therefore be connected or joined together in the region of the first opening or in the region of the opening opposite the first opening in the outer housing part. In this case, the inner housing part can be inserted into the opening opposite the first opening or into the first opening in the outer housing part and be joined to the outer housing part in the opening, in particular by soldering, welding, gluing. The inner housing part is thus connected in the region of the first opening or in the region of the opening opposite the first opening of the outer housing part with this. Here, the inner housing part can be guided on the outside of the outer housing part, that is inserted from the outside into the corresponding opening of the outer housing part and be joined in this opening with this.

It is also possible to arrange the inner housing part completely within the outer housing part and to connect a connection in the region of the then advantageously aligned adjacent openings in the inner and outer housing part. Especially when arranging the inner housing part within the outer housing part, without leading the inner housing part in the region of an opening of the outer housing part to the outside, an at least partially spherical shape of the inner housing part is suitable to here at a spherical shape in the central region of the outer housing part the respective openings of the inner and outer housing part to provide adjacent to each other. Through these two mutually adjacent openings, a connection of the two housing parts, for example, by inserting a line which is in communication with the heating flow, or the adjusting or valve device.

The advantageous provided between the inner and the outer housing part sealing element can be secured in the outer housing part by a securing element. In particular, in the outer housing part in a the opening, in particular third opening, comprehensive channel be inserted a locking washer. Such, for example, be supported in a corresponding paragraph in the corresponding opening of the outer housing part comprehensive flow channel or in a corresponding groove which can be provided there for better retention of the lock washer.

The inner housing part may be formed as a plastic injection-molded part and injected into the outer housing part. As an alternative to the provision of a plastic injection molded part, the inner and / or outer housing part may be made of a metal. In particular, it is possible auszuspindeln a Fließpressteil to form over this an inner and an outer housing part. Also, a solid forming part can be processed accordingly to provide an inner and an outer housing part.

The adjusting or valve device can be designed as a thermostatic valve.

When providing a control or valve device with two lateral openings of the heating flow can be connected to the second opening of the outer housing part, wherein the second opening opposite to the first, the adjusting or valve device receiving opening is arranged. The first lateral opening of the actuator or valve device can be brought into fluid communication with the first heating element. The second lateral opening of the adjusting or valve device can in the flow around space between the outer housing part and the inner housing part, which is fluidly connected to the at least one other heating element, open. Thus, on the one hand, the space inside the inner housing part can be used as a flow channel, wherein the seal with respect to the outer housing part is advantageously provided in the region of an outlet opening from the inner housing part. On the other hand, the Umströmungs- or gap between the outer and the inner housing part is used as a second flow channel, since this is completely separated from the other flow channel due to the provision of the seal of the inner housing part relative to the outer housing part. Thus, in a simple manner, a separation of the flow channels to the first and second heating element is possible, without providing additional elements within the actuator or valve device receiving housing, which may be shaped in particular in the manner of a tee. Thus, coming from the flow of heating medium through the first flow channel, which passes through the inner housing part and the sealing element, enter the first heating element. The actual exit from the housing is provided by the outer housing part or the third or fourth opening arranged therein.

In a provided with two side windows actuator or valve means which is positioned so that it covers with a window the first flow channel and with the other the second, thus controlling the Heizmediumzufuhr can be done asymmetrically to the first and second heating element, ie first the Flow of the first heating element can be provided via the one window and the first flow channel and subsequently only a heating medium supply to the second heating element via the second window and the second flow channel. It is also possible to provide a windowless adjusting or valve device which is provided with a double piston or double tappet, which allows an optional release of the path in the first heating element and the second heating element, ie an optional release of the two flow channels.

The housing may also be formed as a double housing with two outer housing parts. A second outer housing part may be provided with at least two opposing openings and an opening arranged at an angle thereto and connected to the first outer housing part in the region of the angled opening. The connection with the first outer housing part may be provided in the region of its opening opposite the first opening for receiving the adjusting or valve means opening. As a result, an H-shaped housing is created in plan view. The two outer housing parts are connected by a connection opening. The connecting the two outer housing parts interconnecting opening can be advantageously opened and closed by a piston of the control or valve device. In such a housing formed by two outer housing parts, in each case an opening in the two outer housing parts may be closed in order to supply heating medium to the first heating element via the first outer housing part or via the inner housing part and the first flow passage arranged in the first outer housing part to be made possible by opening the connection opening to the second outer housing part via this and this heating medium in the second heating element. The respective openings in the first and second outer housing part, which lead to the second and first heating element, are correspondingly closed.

Advantageously, may be inserted into the sealing element or the first flow channel opposite opening of the outer housing part, a closure element or be. Further, in the sealing element or the first flow channel opposite opening of the first outer housing part and in the one of the two opposing openings of the second outer housing part, which faces in the direction of the first flow channel, be inserted or a closure element. In both cases, this can be done via the desired asymmetric flow of the two heating elements of the radiator.

When providing a double-piston actuator or valve device, the first piston may be opened in the inner housing part to flow through the flow channel comprising the seal for flowing heating medium into the first heating element and the second piston sealing the opening for inserting the actuating element. or valve means opposite opening in the outer housing part or the connection opening from the first outer housing part to the second outer housing part for supplying heating medium to the at least one further heating element may be provided. The second opening in the housing that can be connected or connected to the heating flow can be arranged to supply heating medium in a flow space sealed between the outer housing part and the inner housing part and relative to the first heating element, and in relation to the first piston such that heating medium flows against the latter. The second piston which seals off the outlet opening for conducting heating medium to the at least one further heating element can in this case be actuated in such a way that the latter reaches the opening after exceeding an adjustable piston stroke of the first piston, which communicates the heating flow with the first heating element, releases. Thus, first the opening covered by the first piston is opened and heating medium can flow through the first flow channel into the first heating element. Only after exceeding an adjustable path or piston stroke of the first piston and the second piston is lifted from the opening, which he closes. Thus, heating medium can then also flow through the second flow channel, which leads into the second heating element. The first piston is advantageously located in the body or housing of the adjusting or valve device. Here, further, a KV value adjustment device can be provided to enable a KV value adjustment. In contrast, the second piston arranged outside the housing of the adjusting or valve device has no KV value adjusting device.

A KV value is understood to mean a specific flow rate at a specific differential base pressure. The KV value presetting is used for the one-off hydraulic adjustment of a radiator in a heating circuit by setting the possible volume flow over a set slot or a pinhole. As a material for the panel element is a little corrosion-prone material, such as brass. Especially when providing a steel housing, the piston area may be formed together with the adjustment as pressed-brass shell.

The KV value presetting of the control or valve device can be used for targeted switching on and off of the other heating element and are also provided as a default for a winter and a summer operation of the radiator, wherein by adjusting the KV value preset the inlet to the housing, in particular the inner housing part, can be opened and closed. To set the summer and winter operation, an actuating element can be provided, in particular in the area of the adjusting or valve device. The actuator can be advantageously locked in the setting of summer operation and in winter operation. For winter operation, the actuator for the KV value adjustment can be opened so that due to the then reduced flow resistance heating medium can also flow into the other heating element.

To set the summer and winter operation, an actuating element and at least one valve element may be provided in the region of a connecting piece, wherein the valve element serves to open and close the connection between the two heating elements. Advantageously, the heating medium return flow is connected to all or two heating elements. It is thus blocked or released via the valve element, which serves as a switching valve between the summer and winter operation, the flow of heating medium from one heating element to the other. In winter operation, both heating plates are supplied with heating medium, thus enabling the passage via the connecting piece between the two heating elements, so that a heating medium return via the second heating element, but also via the first heating element can take place. In summer operation, the passage to the second heating element is blocked, so that the heating medium return then takes place only from the first heating element.

For venting the heating elements, the flow connection between the heating elements can also be blocked by the actuating element, wherein a venting via a commercially available venting device, which is usually arranged in another connector between the heating elements, can take place.

To provide a KV value presetting, at least one throttle element, in particular one or more baffle plates, can be provided in the region of the heating return. The at least one throttle element, which may be associated with a respective KV value, may remain captive in the return when connecting the radiator. The KV value presetting device can furthermore be arranged on or in the region of the return flow of the radiator, in particular in a connecting bridge or another obturator.

The opening and closable opening which can be closed by the second piston can be connected to at least one line which opens directly into the at least one further heating element or via a connecting piece in the upper or lower end or middle region. After opening the closed by the second piston opening thus the heating medium can flow through this line and get over this in the at least one further heating element.

It proves to be particularly advantageous to provide a KV value presetting device for the second heating element or further heating elements. For the KV value presetting of the first heating element, a commercially available KV value presetting device or a commercial valve element provided for this purpose can be used. In order to be able to preset the second or even further heating elements with regard to the KV value, the provision of a corresponding device proves to be particularly advantageous. This can be in the form of a KV value presetting device in combination with or with at least one venting device for venting the heating elements in the region of or in one Connecting piece to be provided between the heating elements. In this case, therefore, a single device is provided which is provided both for presetting the KV value and for venting the heating elements. For this purpose, the KV value presetting device comprises at least one inner ventilation channel which is at least one of the two heating elements Luftstömungsverbunden or is connected to the venting device flow connected. Airflow connected means that air, but mostly not heating medium, can flow. Furthermore, the venting device advantageously comprises at least one hollow screw, which is airflow-connected with at least one of the two heating elements, in particular with the venting channel of the KV value presetting device is airflow connected. For connecting the KV value presetting device with a line for supplying heating medium to the connecting piece, an adapter element is advantageously provided, wherein the adapter element has at least one lateral window opening, which can be changed in its opening size by the KV value presetting device. The adapter element can be integrally connected with the remainder of the KV value presetting device or as a separate and with the remaining part of the KV value presetting device in a form-fit, force-locking or torque-transmitting manner.

This type of KV value presetting device with venting possibility can be provided in particular for radiators in which heating medium is supplied from the control or valve device to the second heating element via a particular overhead connecting line. In particular, the adjusting or valve device may in this case comprise a double piston. By means of this type of KV value presetting device with venting possibility, the KV value of the second heating element can be preset, but both or all heating elements can be vented. The size of the window opening of the adapter element can be varied by turning the KV value presetting device, for which purpose a diaphragm section of the KV value presetting device is advantageously used. Venting of the heating elements is also advantageously carried out by the entry of air through the window opening in the adapter element and by the inner vent channel of the KV value presetting and an inner channel of the hollow screw.

In order to protect the KV-value presetting with venting possibility from unwanted manipulation, this can be covered by a cap or a corresponding cover, with an opening or access to the banjo bolt can be left open to vent the radiator without the possibility a twisting of the KV value presetting, so an unwanted manipulation of this, continue to provide.

The individual devices of the KV value presetting device with ventilation option can be made of plastic and / or metal.

Thus, the adjusting or valve device and / or the housing and / or the flow connection and / or the return connection and / or a riser and / or a connecting piece can be provided with a device for KV value presetting.

When providing a dual-piston actuator or valve device, the first piston or plunger may seal the opening opposite the opening for insertion of the actuator or valve means in the outer housing part, which is provided for flow communication with the flow for supplying heating medium to the first heating element , And the second piston or plunger for releasing the opening in the inner housing part for flowing through the sealing element comprising the flow channel for the flow of heating medium in the at least one further heating element may be provided. Thus, heating medium can first pass into the flow space between the outer housing part and inner housing part after lifting the first piston or plunger, so that from this Umströmungsraum heating medium can first flow into the first heating element. Only after lifting the second piston or plunger, which closes the opening in the inner housing part, heating medium can also flow through the inner housing part and provided between the inner and outer housing part sealing element in the at least one further heating element, in this case with this flow channel fluidly connected.

The housing may have a housing extension section in which one of the two pistons of the double piston is or may be arranged and the other piston in the outer housing part in the opening facing the housing extension section. Advantageously, a flow channel to the further heating element is provided by the outer housing part, in particular by the arranged in the one opening of the outer housing part sealing element therethrough, which seals the inner relative to the outer housing part. A connection to one of the two heating elements, in particular the first heating element, is possible via an opening of the housing extension section, in particular an opening arranged relative to the housing at the distal end of the housing extension section, via a bypass line or another line. In the housing extension section into a riser of the flow can open. The second piston opens at the end remote from the housing of the housing extension portion, so that heating medium from the housing extension section via the bypass line or another line can get into the first heating element. For selective regulation of an inflow of heating medium in the further heating element, the KV value presetting of the control or valve device can be closed or be. As a result, a sufficiently large resistance is created, which prevents an inflow of heating medium in the further heating element.

Advantageously, via differently dimensioned pistons or flow cross-sections of the through-flow openings of the housing and the Gehäuseverlängerungsabschnitts or the transition from the housing to the Gehäuseverlängerungsabschnitt a targeted influencing the mass flows in the first and the at least one further heating element into it.

Between two heating elements advantageously at least three spacer and / or connecting elements are provided. The spacer and / or connecting elements may comprise at least one device for closing and / or flow reduction. As a result, a separation and spacing of the heating elements, in particular heating plates, possible to control these separately.

The Abstandhalte- and / or connecting elements may be formed of metal, but also of another material, for. B. also made of an alloy such as brass. Of course, other materials of sufficient strength, as well as material combinations, can be used here.

By providing a connection of the at least one further heating element in the asymmetrically approachable or impinged radiator only in full load operation, so if a high heat output or a higher heat than otherwise required, as on cold winter days, a good energy savings is possible. In partial load operation, when only a lower heating temperature is required on the radiator, for example in spring and autumn, only the first heating element is flowed through with warm heating medium. In this way, the volume of heating medium in the heating circuit is reduced. Furthermore, the proportion of radiant heat to the radiator increases, which is positively received by the user. In a partial load operation, therefore, only the charging of the first heating element with heating medium is required and the second or further heating elements are acted upon only when requesting full power with heating medium, so that an energy saving is possible thereby.

1 shows a cross-sectional view of a housing 1 for a control or valve device 2 , The housing has an outer housing part 10 and an inner housing part 11 on. The adjusting or valve device, which can be designed in particular as a thermostatic valve, protrudes through both housing parts 10 . 11 through into the interior of the inner housing part. There it is with a line section 3 connected, which also by both housing parts 10 . 11 protrudes through, however, through one of the opening for inserting the adjusting or valve device opposite opening. The in 1 For example, the line section shown may be part of a rising line coming from a heating flow.

In order to accommodate the line and the control or valve device, the outer housing part and the inner housing part have respective openings in their walls. The outer housing part 10 has a first opening 12 , a second opening 13 that of the opening 12 opposite, and two more openings 14 . 15 which are also opposed to each other and at a right angle to the other two openings 12 . 13 are arranged. The inner housing part has a first opening 16 , a second of these opposite opening 17 and a third opening 18 which is arranged at a right angle to the other two opposite openings.

The pipe section 3 protrudes through the two aligned openings 12 and 16 the outer and inner housing part 10 . 11 therethrough. The inner housing part 11 is completely within the outer housing part 10 arranged, with the openings 12 and 16 are aligned adjacent to each other and the openings 13 and 17 are also arranged adjacent to each other, which are dimensioned differently. In the opening 13 of the outer housing part 10 is a sleeve 113 arranged in the adjusting or valve device 2 sitting.

The two openings 14 and 18 of the inner and outer housing part merge into each other, so are fluidly connected. That's the opening 18 comprehensive end of the inner housing part 11 is in the outer housing part in the sealing area 19 near its opening 14 clamped or otherwise there with this added, z. B. with this soldered or welded there.

The inner housing part 11 is, as well as the outer housing part 10 , provided with a central spherical shape, whereby it is possible, the two openings 12 . 16 to be arranged so that the respective outer walls of the inner and outer housing part approximately abut each other to here to provide a connection of the inner and outer housing part with each other, here on the line section 3 ,

In the area of the two openings 13 . 17 through which the actuator or valve device 2 protrudes, the two housing parts are arranged at a distance from each other, so that between them a space remains, can flow in the heating medium. This is around the inner housing part 11 space continuing thereafter will be referred to as flow around space 111 designated.

The pipe section 3 has a bead-like projecting portion 30 on, with the line section on the outside of the opening 12 on the outer housing part 10 is applied. Both housing parts 10 . 11 For example, by soldering, welding, gluing or another joining method with the line part 3 connected, wherein the bead-like projection of the conduit part both openings 12 . 16 the outer and inner housing part 10 . 11 can seal to the outside.

The control or valve device 2 is in the section 20 inside the case 1 is arranged, with two outside windows 21 . 22 Mistake. Through these two outside windows heating medium in the intermediate or Umströmungsraum 111 between outer housing part 10 and inner housing part 11 stream. Through the window 22 can heat medium into the interior of the inner housing part 11 and out of it through the opening 18 in the inner housing part and the opening 14 in the outer housing part flow out of the housing. The heating medium passes through the pipe 3 , which may for example be part of a riser extending from the heating flow to the housing 1 extends into the section 20 the control or valve device 2 , About the control or valve device 2 can then be regulated, whether the heating medium through the openings 18 . 14 in a first heating element, which is in the area of the opening 14 with the housing 1 may be connected, or additionally through the opening 15 in the outer housing part 10 into a second heating element, which can connect there, can flow. This is indicated by the two arrows P1, P2 in 1 indicated. The heating medium flow through the pipe section 3 is indicated by an arrow PO. The two windows 21 . 22 are in communication with a respective annular gap and this in turn with the flow around space 111 or the interior of the inner housing part 11 , Depending on the positioning of the annular gaps, a selective flow of a first and second heating element of a radiator, as shown below in the figures, is possible. Such a selectively inflowable radiator is referred to below as an asymmetrically approachable radiator.

2 shows an alternative embodiment of the housing 1 in which an outer housing part 210 very similar to the one in 1 shown outer housing part 10 is shaped. The outer housing part 10 also has a bulbous or spherical shaped central portion and two adjoining these tubular or cylindrical sections with the end-side openings 214 . 215 on. In a transverse or approximately at a 90 ° angle to the two openings 214 . 215 arranged first opening 212 is a partial section of an inner housing part 211 arranged. The inner housing part is in contrast to the embodiment according to 1 formed substantially cylindrical over the greater part of its longitudinal extent. At the end it has a projecting flange 200 on. This is outside the opening 212 on the outside of the outer housing part 210 arranged resting. This will seal the opening 212 in the outer housing part when joining the inner and outer housing part even better possible. At his the flange 200 opposite end is the peripheral wall of the inner housing part 211 in the direction of the opening provided there 217 pulled inwards into the interior of the inner housing part, so compared to the inner diameter of the inner housing part of the diameter of the opening 217 less educated. In the correspondingly arranged on this side of the housing opening 213 of the outer housing part 210 is again a sleeve 219 for receiving the control or valve device 2 arranged.

The inner diameter of the inner housing part is in the region of the flange 200 chosen lower than beyond the other longitudinal extension of the inner housing part. Thus, here stands for the joining, in particular welding, soldering, etc., of the inner and outer housing part in the opening 212 of the outer housing part sufficient material available to allow a stable and tight joint. Over the further longitudinal extension of the inner housing part 211 The peripheral wall can have a smaller wall thickness and still has sufficient stability. As the control or valve device 2 in principle, to a large extent in the longitudinal direction through the inner housing part 211 extends therethrough, no lateral forces or substantially no transverse forces on the inner housing part 211 exercised, so that a comparatively small wall thickness of the inner housing part is sufficient here. This leads to a saving of material, in particular in comparison to the embodiment according to FIG 1 in which the inner housing part has a greater wall thickness due to the partially spherical shape.

Through the opening 217 of the inner housing part 211 opposite opening 216 is similar to that in the embodiment according to 1 is provided, the line section 3 For example, a riser inserted from the heating flow. Here, the cantilevered portion superimposed 30 of the line section 3 on the outside of the flange 200 and allows a particularly good and dense joint.

The third in the inner housing part 211 provided opening 218 is provided in the peripheral wall of the inner housing part and dimensioned smaller than the opening 18 in the embodiment of the inner housing part according to 1 , To delineate the flow around space 111 between the inner and outer housing part relative to the interior of the inner housing part, is a sealing element 4 , the opening 218 surrounding, in the opening 214 arranged the outer housing part. In the sealing element 4 a passage opening is provided, which serves as a flow channel 40 for the escape of heating medium from the interior of the inner housing part through the opening 218 and the opening 214 serves. The sealing element 4 can, as in 2 also indicated by a holding element 41 , in particular a clamping disc, in the opening 214 the outer housing part are clamped supported and held.

The flow through the inner and outer housing part is analogous to the flow in the embodiment of the housing according to 1 , wherein heating medium through the line section 3 , coming from the heating flow, into the control or valve device 2 enters, which is indicated by the corresponding arrow P3 in FIG 2 is indicated. From there it can be through the window 22 the control or valve device 2 in the interior of the inner housing part 211 and from there through the opening 218 in the inner housing part, the flow channel 40 in the sealing element through the opening 214 in the outer housing part in an adjoining heating element (see arrow P4). The inflow of heating medium to the one with the other opening 215 The heating element connected to the outer housing part (see arrow P5) can be prevented in this case by being attached to the window 21 the control or valve device 2 subsequent annular gap is in a position in which no outflow of heating medium through this window or this annular gap in the Umströmungsraum 111 is possible.

3 shows a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the housing 1 for the control or valve device 2 , The control or valve device 2 is here with a so-called double piston 23 Mistake. This one has two by a pole 25 interconnected pistons 24 . 26 on. The construction of the housing is similar to that in 2 shown again, wherein here again an approximately cylindrically shaped inner housing part 311 in the centrally spherical or bulbous shaped outer housing part 310 is inserted. The inner housing part 311 is now, however, through the opening in the outer housing part 310 inserted into this, creating a joint 313 between the two. From the shape ago corresponds to the inner housing part 311 in principle, the inner housing part 211 but with a flange 300 of the inner housing part not on the outside of the outer housing part in the region of the opening 312 is arranged lying on, but with distance to the outside of the outer housing part. This creates a connection piece, so that the insertion of the control or valve device 2 Here is very possible. The actuator or valve device is characterized by in the flange 300 provided screw-in opening 316 of the inner housing part 311 inserted or screwed into this.

The screw-in opening 316 opposite opening 317 of the inner housing part 311 can through the piston 26 opened and closed. The piston 26 store for this purpose on the inside of the inner housing part 311 in front of the opening 317 , The other piston 24 is to open and close the corresponding opening 312 provided in the outer housing part. The piston 24 store for this purpose on the inside of the outer housing part, the opening 312 overlapping. The rod connecting the two pistons 25 is thus in the flow area 111 arranged between the outer and inner housing part.

The pipe section 3 is designed in this embodiment, that it with the projecting portion 30 again on the outside of the outer housing part 310 overlaid with this. However, it protrudes no sleeve or end into the interior of the outer housing part. Rather, the line section ends 3 on the outside of the outer housing part or in the opening 312 of the outer housing part 310 ,

The lateral in the peripheral wall of the inner housing part 311 arranged opening 318 in turn flows into the flow channel 40 of the sealing element 4 that in the outer housing part 310 in the area of its opening 314 is arranged. Again, the sealing element 4 again by a clamping or retaining element 41 or another device can be secured inside the outer housing part. The sealing element 4 again seals the inner and outer housing part against each other, so that the Umströmungsraum 111 opposite the flow channel 40 is sealed.

For the asymmetrical flow of a radiator, with its heating elements in the region of the openings 314 and 315 the outer housing part attach to this and are joined here with this, heating medium coming from the heating flow can in turn through the line section 3 in the case 1 reach (see arrow P6). However, this is only possible as soon as the first piston 24 from the opening 312 takes off. As a result, an inflow of heating medium in the Umströmungsraum 111 possible, as indicated by the arrow P7 in 3 indicated. It should get heating medium not only in a first heating element, but also in a second, located at the opening 314 of the housing connects. Lift the control or valve device 2 also the second piston 26 from the opening 317 of the inner housing part, so heating medium can first flow once into the interior of the inner housing part, through the opening 318 through the flow channel 40 and from this through the opening 314 in the second Flow in heating element. This is also indicated by a corresponding arrow P8 in FIG 3 indicated.

As in the 4 to 6 indicated, are different variants of the installation of the valve housing in a radiator 5 possible. Here are in the embodiments according to 4 to 6 two heating elements each 50 . 51 provided by the valve body 1 and a T-shaped connector 6 in the upper area of the two heating elements 50 . 51 and at the bottom by a connector 7 are connected. The connector 7 has a flow connection 70 and a return port 71 on. The return connection 71 comprehensive part of the connector 7 also has a the two heating elements 50 . 51 connecting connecting element 72 on. Between the connector 7 and the housing 1 is according to the embodiment in 4 a riser 8th intended. In 4 is a side connection to the flow and return for the radiator 5 intended. In the embodiment according to 5 is a central radiator connection to flow and return provided so that the riser 80 L-shaped, since the valve housing 1 is arranged in the upper lateral region of the radiator. As in 5 shown by dashed lines, the L-shaped riser 80 initially vertically from the flow connection 75 extend upward and only then a horizontal portion in the direction of the valve housing 1 exhibit. Conversely, it is also possible that heating medium from the flow connection via a connecting element 73 between flow connection and return connection thus via the return connection 76 First, it is routed horizontally to the side of the radiator and over the vertical part of the riser 80 then to the housing 1 arrives.

In the embodiment of the radiator 5 in 6 are both a central flow / return port 75 . 76 as well as a side flow / return port 70 . 71 shown for the radiator, which can be optionally connected. The two flow / return connections are via a connecting line 74 interconnected or connectable. About the riser 8th can this - depending on the connection - one of the two flow connections entering heating medium into the valve body 1 reach.

7 shows a perspective view of another embodiment of the radiator 5 , This in turn has the two heating elements 50 . 51 on. Between the two heating elements are the connecting piece 6 in the upper lateral area opposite to the valve housing 1 also arranged in the upper lateral region, wherein the connecting piece 6 is designed as a tee. On the same side as the connector 6 is in the lower part of the two heating elements 50 . 51 another connector 9 arranged, which is also T-shaped. In the lower area of the two heating elements of the radiator are, similar to the in 6 shown embodiment of a radiator, two flow connections 70 . 75 and two return ports 71 . 76 are provided, which can be optionally connected, so that a central and a lateral connection is possible. The two flow connections 70 . 75 are through the connection line 74 fluidly connected to each other. This connection line 74 passes through the return port 76 , but is not fluidly connected to this. The two return connections 71 . 76 each have the two heating elements interconnecting fasteners 72 . 77 on. The two connecting elements 72 . 77 are open at each end, so that by correspondingly in the first and second heating element 50 . 51 provided openings 52 . 53 a connection of the two connecting elements is provided to the interior of the two heating elements, to a return from both heating elements 50 . 51 to enable. In 7 only the openings are shown 52 . 53 in the second heating element 51 , wherein in the first heating element 50 corresponding openings are provided.

The riser 8th extends between the flow connection 70 and the outer housing part 410 of the housing 1 , The supply of heating medium to the valve housing is thus no longer, as in the 1 to 3 shown over the pipe section 3 but through a further opening in the outer housing part, namely the opening 419 , This is perpendicular to both the opposite openings 414 . 415 as well as the openings 412 and 413 arranged the outer housing part. The construction of inner and outer housing part 410 . 411 corresponds in principle to the in 3 shown, wherein the sealing element 4 not in the area of the opening 414 but in the area of the opening 415 the outer housing part is arranged. The sealing element 4 can for example consist of silicone. The flow channel 40 extends from the interior of the inner housing part 411 through its now arranged on this side opening 418 through the flow channel 40 through the opening 415 in the outer housing part. The opening 414 of the outer housing part 410 to the second heating element 51 through is through a shutter disc 54 closed.

The control or valve device 2 is in a screw-in opening 416 the housing inserted, in particular screwed and seated in the inner housing part 411 or may partially form this. Instead of providing a double piston 23 is in 7 now the control or valve device 2 provided with a double piston, which has a first end-side piston 28 and a second end-side piston 29 includes, connected to each other by a piston rod 27 are connected. This is even better the detail view in 7a refer to. The first piston 28 lies in the opening 412 to the pipe section 3 and can open and close them, whereas the second piston 29 for opening and closing the opening 417 of the inner housing part 411 is provided. The two pistons 28 . 29 can have the same diameter. In principle, however, it is also possible to provide these with a different diameter. The within the control or valve device 2 arranged second piston 29 may be provided with a KV value adjustment device which is in the opening 412 in the outer housing part 410 arranged first piston 28 has no such KV value adjustment on.

The pipe section 3 can be either from the valve body 1 until the connector 6 extend throughout or it may be in the central region of the radiator another connector 60 be provided. This also forms a spacer for the two heating elements 50 . 51 , From the second connector 60 , this in 7 only shown in phantom, if necessary, another line section extends to the connector 6 , The connector 60 However, may also be formed only angularly, thus only in the direction of the second heating element 51 extend, provided heating medium at this point in the second heating element 51 should flow. It is also possible to do that in 7 shown connecting piece without a further line section leading to the connector 6 leads to provide. In the embodiment according to 7 is in each case in the opening facing the first heating element 62 of the connector 60 a shutter disc 63 intended. For venting is in the opening 61 of the connector 6 a partially provided with openings or slots disc 67 arranged. Thus, neither on the connector 6 still over the connector 60 Heating medium in the first heating element 50 reach.

At the connector 9 is also a shutter disc 91 inserted, but in an opening 90 going in the direction of the second heating element 51 has. Instead of a closure disk, however, a reducing disk or a disk provided with slots can be provided here in order to control the flow of heating medium out of the second heating element 51 in the first heating element 50 to reduce. The connector 9 has an opening in the direction of the first heating element 92 but not closed.

From one of the two flow connections 70 . 75 , Depending on whether a central or a lateral connection of the radiator is provided to flow and return for heating medium in a room, the heating medium passes through the riser in the outer housing part 410 , strictly speaking, in the circulation space 111 , so that due to the provision of the sealing element 4 , the shutter disc 54 and the double piston initially the heating medium neither in the first heating element 50 still the second heating element 51 can get. The heating medium thus flows the second piston 29 on the front side, so that when it is opened, so lift off from the corresponding opening in the control or valve device heating medium into the inner housing part and from there through the opening 418 , the flow channel 40 and the opening 415 in the outer housing part in the first heating element 50 can get. The first and second pistons 28 . 29 are so interconnected that when lifting the second piston 29 the first piston still in the opening 412 remains in the outer housing part. Only after a predetermined valve lift of, for example, 0.5 mm is also the first piston 28 a Ausströmquerschnitt in the opening 412 free, so over the line section 3 Heating medium then either via the connector 60 or over the connector 6 in the second heating element 51 can get.

In principle, it is not only possible to connect to the second heating element 51 provided in the upper region of the radiator, but can the connector 60 be provided, for example, in the lower part of the radiator. The entrance to the second heating element 51 can be done in the lateral or central area at any point of the second heating element. The return of the heating medium is via the respective return connection 71 respectively. 76 intended.

In 9 is the pipe piece 3 formed as an S-shaped line and the connector 60 arranged in the lower middle region of the radiator. Accordingly, leads a connection line 64 from the connector 60 to the connector 9 , The connector 60 can also be omitted and the connection line 64 in one piece with the pipe section 30 be educated. Furthermore, only the supply connection 70 and the return port 71 provided so that the riser 8th from the supply connection 70 to the valve housing 1 extends. The two connectors 6 and 9 are towards the heating element 50 closed, something through the shutter discs 63 . 93 is indicated. The connecting element 72 is open on both sides to allow backflow of heating medium through the return connection. The other structure and operation correspond to the or to 7 described.

8th shows a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the radiator 5 , Here, similar to the embodiment according to 7 , again alternatively the central and the lateral connection through the supply and return connections 70 . 71 respectively. 75 . 76 shown. Unlike the embodiment according to 7 is in the embodiment according to 8th a modified housing 1 intended. This is again an outer housing part 510 and an inner housing part 511 intended. These are according to the in 7 respectively. 9 manner shown in one another, so that the adjusting or valve device 2 , in the 8th is shown as a thermostatic valve, in the inner housing part of the screw-in 516 is inserted from. The sealing element 4 is, similar to the embodiment according to 3 , in the outer housing part 510 in the area of the opening 514 inserted. The opening 515 is not directly with the flow around space 111 connected between the inner and outer housing part, but here is a baffle plate 519 inserted and the resulting sleeve section 520 with his mouth 515 to the first heating element 50 connected. To the sleeve section 520 is an angularly shaped bypass line 521 guided. This is at the other end with the line section 3 connected. This extends to an angle connector 65 that with his mouth 66 in the direction of the first heating element 50 where it is adjacent, is open. The bypass line 521 may optionally be provided, but it may also be another supply of heating medium to the first heating element 50 be provided. The bypass line 512 is therefore shown in dashed lines.

Between the line section 3 and the outer housing part 510 is a housing extension section 522 arranged. The housing extension section is attached to the outer housing part 510 whose opening 512 surrounding connected, in particular by welding or soldering connected to this. The housing extension section 522 is formed substantially cylindrical tubular. In this housing extension section 522 opens a riser 81 in the opening 523 in the outer shell of the housing extension section 522 , The opening is behind a first piston 128 a double piston of the adjusting or valve device 2 arranged. A second piston 129 is for opening and closing the end opening 517 of the inner housing part 511 provided, similar to the piston 29 according to 7 and 9 , Between the two pistons 128 and 129 is a long piston rod 130 arranged, which connects the two pistons together. The housing extension section 522 points in the direction of the line section 3 a front end opening 524 on. This can be done by the first piston 128 opened and closed.

The functioning of the radiator 5 according to 8th is provided to the effect that heating medium from the flow connection 70 or the supply connection 75 through the riser 81 in the housing extension section 522 arrives. In the inner housing part 511 is a KV value presetting device 525 provided that can be opened and closed, like the 8a and 8b can be seen. Is this closed ( 8a ), the first piston lifts when the valve is opened 128 from the opening 524 in the direction of the line section 3 off, leaving over this and the elbow connector 65 Heating medium in the first heating element 50 can get. Instead of providing the elbow connector 65 or the central introduction of the heating medium in the first heating element may also have a lateral introduction, in particular an introduction via the connector 6 respectively. Furthermore, an introduction of course also on the bypass line 521 and the opening 515 in the outer housing part 510 of the housing 1 respectively. The second heating element 51 is not flowed in here, since the flow resistance on the closed KV value pre-adjustment device 525 is too big.

By means of differently dimensioned piston or flow cross sections, a suitable allocation of the mass flows can be influenced in a targeted manner.

This setting with closed KV value presetting device 525 is suitable for example as a summer operation, in which the second heating element 51 should not be charged with heating medium. It can thus be used to adjust the KV value preset on the control or valve device 2 a corresponding adjustment means are provided, as in 8th . 8a and 8b through the selector lever shown 526 illustrated.

If the selector lever is switched to summer mode, the above-described loading of only the first heating element results 50 with heating medium. Will, however, the selector lever 526 switched to the winter position, so the KV value preset opened ( 8b ), So an inlet opened in the interior of the inner housing part, can from there after lifting the second piston 129 from the opening 517 Heating medium from the housing extension section 522 through the corresponding lateral opening 518 in the inner housing part 511 as well as through the flow channel 40 and the opening 514 in the outer housing part in the second heating element 51 reach. The KV value presetting device 525 or the selector lever 526 can also be designed as a turntable or bayonet adjustment. Will the KV value default setting device 525 opened, due to the lower flow resistance, the heating medium, as mentioned, also in the second heating element 51 pour into it.

Since it is no longer possible in this structure of the radiator to provide a conventional KV value adjustment or default setting in the sense of hydraulic balancing in the heating circuit are in the return, so in particular in the return port 71 respectively. 76 baffles 78 arranged.

These can have different diameters of their passage openings 79 have, so that accordingly a different volume flow can flow through here to make the hydraulic adjustment in the heating circuit over this. Such throttle disks or diaphragms can be designed, for example, as plastic disks. It is also possible to use another material here.

To set a summer or winter operation can instead of a manually operated selector lever for adjusting the KV value pre-adjustment device 525 Also, an automatic adjustment are provided, the temperature-dependent summer or winter operation by opening or closing the KV value Voreinstellungseinrichtung 525 established.

10 shows a further embodiment of the radiator 5 in turn, between the two heating elements 50 . 51 in the upper lateral area the connector 6 and in the lower lateral area of the connector 9 are provided. Down opposite to the connector 9 are supply and return connection 70 . 71 arranged laterally, similar to the embodiments in FIG 7 and 9 , The riser 8th leads from the flow connection 70 to the housing 1 , The valve housing 1 is designed here as a double housing. This means that to the outer housing part 610 of the outer housing parts 410 in 7 and 9 is constructed according to, a second outer housing part 620 connected. The two outer housing parts 610 . 620 are in the area of the opening 612 in the first outer housing part 610 connected. Here is a corresponding opening 621 provided in the second outer housing part. The two openings 612 and 621 thus essentially overlap and form an aligned connection opening. The second outer housing part is approximately at right angles to the opening 621 two more opposite openings 622 . 623 on. The in the direction of the first heating element 50 directed opening 622 is however from a shutter disc or baffle plate 624 locked. The opening 623 in the direction of the second heating element is open, in contrast to the opening 614 in the first outer housing part 610 passing through the shutter disc 54 is closed.

As the plan view of the detail of the valve body 1 in 10a can be removed, the housing shown there is in two parts. In principle, however, it would be possible to provide a one-piece housing, in which thus both outer housing parts are integrally formed and only one connection opening 619 is provided, in which the piston 28 sitting. By adjusting the piston 28 This opening can be opened and closed.

To the functionality of the valve or the piston 28 to ensure is a radial piston or valve seat in the opening 619 provided in alignment with the adjusting or valve device receiving screw-in 616 in the inner housing part 611 is trained.

The operation is similar to the one to the 7 and 9 described. Also in this embodiment, heating medium flows through the flow connection 70 and the riser 8th in the outer housing part 610 a, more precisely in the Umströmungsraum 111 between the first outer housing part 610 and the inner housing part 611 , When opening the second piston 29 can then heat medium through the opening 618 through the flow channel 40 in the sealing element 4 , through this into the opening 615 and from here into the first heating element 50 reach. After exceeding a presettable valve or piston stroke of the piston 29 can over the between the piston 29 and the piston 28 provided valve or piston rod 27 also the piston 28 from his seat in the opening 619 be lifted so that heating medium also in the second outer housing part 620 inflow and from this into the second heating element 51 can get. A return of heating medium again takes place via the connecting element 72 that works with both the first and second heating elements 50 . 51 flow connected, and via the return port 71 ,

In the 11 respectively. 11a compared to the embodiment in FIG 10 and 10a modified embodiment of the radiator 5 In contrast, only has a slightly differently shaped first and second outer housing part 630 . 640 on. It is thus formed an angled shape of the housing or an indicated S-shaped with two point-symmetrical outer housing parts. The second outer housing part 640 also has its end in its direction in the direction of the first heating element 50 directed opening 642 a shutter disc 644 or a lid on. However, it does not extend to the outside of the first heating element 50 approach, but ends at a distance to this. The same applies to the first outer housing part 630 spaced from the second heating element 51 ends, this opening 634 with the shutter disc 54 or a lid is closed. As a connection with the first outer housing part 630 and the second heating element 51 there is a flow connection between the second outer housing part 640 and the first heating element 50 is not provided, this may also end at a distance from the first heating element. A flow connection in turn is only through a connection opening 632 provided between the two outer housing parts. This opening is made by lifting the piston 28 opened or closed. Again, the piston is used 29 opening and closing the opening 617 in the inner housing part 611 or the corresponding opening of the control or valve device 2 , in turn, into the screw-in opening 616 inserted or screwed.

In any case, the sealing element may, for example, consist of silicone or other material having corresponding properties. An anchoring of the sealing element in the outer housing part can be done in particular via corresponding holding elements, such as clamping plates, etc. Depending on which type of adjusting or valve device is inserted into the valve housing, in particular screwed, the internal structure of the housing in the form of outer housing part and inner housing part can be adapted to an asymmetric flow against the radiator 5 provide, so a conscious flow first of the first heating element, which is directed at mounting in a room, in particular in the direction of the room, and only subsequently the second heating element, which is then directed in the direction of the wall.

12 shows a further embodiment of a with an adjustment 94 for summer operation and winter operation provided radiator 5 , The adjustment device 94 includes an actuator 95 and a valve element 96 , Both are in the connector 9 between the first and second heating elements 50 . 51 arranged. The radiator 5 is about the same as in 4 sketched radiator. This is in turn designed as an asymmetrically driven or impinged radiator. In the in 12 variant shown is a lateral connection for the heating medium flow and the heating medium return 70 . 71 intended. Likewise, a central connection can be provided here.

About the adjustment 94 in the connector 9 Switching between summer and winter operation is possible for the radiator, wherein the flow of heating medium from the first heating element 50 in the second heating element 51 through the valve element 96 can be released or blocked. The heating medium return takes place via the connecting element 72 , which is designed as a tee and with both heating elements 50 . 51 fluidly connected. About the actuator 95 can the valve element 96 operated, so the flow locked or opened. The actuator 95 is here indicated as a knob-like element, but it may have any training, the actuation of the valve element 96 allows. The valve element 96 itself may be formed, for example, as a ball valve, as in 12 indicated. However, other forms of training are possible.

In the connector 6 of the radiator 5 is a device for venting the two heating elements 50 . 51 provided, however, in 12 not visible. For venting is a through hole to the two heating elements 50 . 51 open. It can in particular in the connector 6 a special vent valve is provided, which is commercially available and which provides open access to both heating elements during the venting operation, and does not permit flow from the first to the second heating element after venting and closing.

In summer operation is the connector 9 or the valve element 96 closed, with heating medium during the regular control function of the control valve 700 the control or valve device 2 only in the first heating element 50 flows and from this over the connecting element 72 the return connection 71 is fed again. The second heating element 51 is decoupled hydraulically.

In winter operation is the over the connector 9 created cross-connection between the two heating elements open and heating medium can from the first heating element 50 in the second heating element 51 over the connector 9 reach. In the first vertical channel in the end region of the second heating element 51 The heating medium then rises and spreads over the entire heating element width. The heating medium from the second heating element 51 flows as well as heating medium from the first heating element 50 over the connecting element 72 back into the return port.

It is thus about the device 94 or the valve element 95 Another way to set a summer and winter operation for the radiator 5 created.

The 13 to 16 show one way, a KV value preset for the second heating element 51 or other heating elements and a vent for both or all heating elements 50 . 51 in one and the same facility. For example, in a three-layer radiator, so a radiator with three heating elements, the second and third may be fluidly connected to each other, wherein the third heating element has the same function as the may have second or run. The KV value preset for the second or further heating element is the connector 6 with an adjusting device 800 provided in the connecting piece 68 of the connector 6 is inserted and transversely to the extension of the connector 6 extends through it. It is at a projecting into the connector end of the line 3 via an adapter element 801 connected. This is substantially cylindrical and has a flared end 802 for mounting on the cable end 31 and an opposite flared end 803 for connection to a plug-like element 810 on. The connection of the adapter element 801 with the plug-like element 810 takes place in the form that a take-away of the adapter element is ensured upon rotation of the plug-like element. The connection of both elements 801 and 810 can thus z. B. be a torque connection or a non-positive or positive connection. Likewise, both elements may be formed as one part, so the adapter element as an extension of the plug-like element or vice versa.

In its cylindrical section 804 has the adapter element 801 a side window opening 805 on. In the adapter element protrudes a KV value setting cylinder 806 into it. This includes an inner vent channel 807 and an end projecting disc element 808 , About the KV value adjusting cylinder 806 in cooperation with the window opening 805 a KV value pre-adjustment can be made, wherein the KV value adjusting cylinder end in the in the window opening 805 protruding area, opposite to the cantilevered disc element 808 with a panel section 809 is provided.
